The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) disability medical examination, also known as a VA Claim Exam or C&P exam, (compensation and pension exam) is a medical assessment that helps determine the severity of a veteran’s disability and whether it’s service-connected. The exam is part of the VA’s claims process and addresses the Veterans’s request for benefits. Dane Street’s national coverage of qualified credentialed physicians assists in performing these in-person visits at our locations or locations associated with the VA. The focus is on speeding care and benefits to the veteran and to provide a high level of service and fast turnaround time. Dane Street’s physician panel is fully credentialed and has completed specific VA examination training.
Exams are performed based on the number of disability benefit requests made. The physician is tasked with evaluating any service-connected disability and providing information that will assist the Veterans Administration in establishing a rating. The rating is based on the severity of the disability, which in turn impacts the rate of disability compensation to be awarded.
